‘The Lord of the Rings: Gollum’ Delayed “By a Few Months” From September Release

After already being pushed from its release window last year, publisher Nacon and developer Daedalic Entertainment have announced that The Lord of the Rings: Gollum will be delayed again. Taking to Twitter for the announcement, the developers have bumped The Lord of the Rings: Gollum from its September 1 release date “by a few months”. The new release date will be announced “in the near future”.

In their statement, Daedalic thanks fans for their patience and support for the game, which is slated to be released for the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam. “We are dedicated to meeting our community’s expectations and uncovering the untold story of Gollum in a way that honors the vision of J. R. R. Tolkien. That being said, in order to deliver the best possible experience, we have decided to push the release of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum by a few months.”

Based on the Lord of the Rings trilogy of books, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum tells of Gollum’s experiences from behind-the-scenes in the first chapters of The Fellowship of the Ring. After losing his precious ring to Bilbo Baggins, Gollum decides to leave the Misty Mountains and embark on a journey that leads him from the dungeons of Barad-dur to the realm of the Wood-elves in Mirkwood.

In order to survive the dangers of his journey through Middle-earth, Gollum has to sneak and climb and use all his cunning. He also has to deal with his Hobbit-self—Smeagol. Players will have to decide if they want Gollum to have the upper hand when it comes to making important decisions, or if they prefer to allow Sméagol to take over.
